Wan - Pptp - EnGenius EOC2611P User Manual

EnGenius EOC2611P
7.4.1.4
The WAN interface can be configured as PPTP. This type of connection is usually used for a DSL
service and requires a username and password to connect.
Internet Connection Type: Select PPPoE from the drop‐down list.
MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet
size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router
will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the
connection to your ISP. Typical values are 1500 bytes for an Ethernet connection. If the router's
MTU is set too high, packets will be fragmented downstream. If the router's MTU is set too low,
the router will fragment packets unnecessarily and in extreme cases may be unable to establish
some connections. In either case, network performance can suffer.
PPTP Options: Specify IP address, subnet mask, default gateway and PPTP server.
Username: Specify the user name which is provided by your ISP.
Password: Specify the password which is provided by your ISP, and then verify it once again in
the next field.
Type: Select a reconnection type: Keep Alive (A connection to the Internet is always maintained),
Connect on Demand: You have to open up the Web‐based management interface and click the
Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet.
